Possibilities

Sometimes we are in these health situations that seem completely impossible to come out of. I personally have experienced this before and I know some others who have too. 

In my case, I would basically rehearse these words: "what may be impossible for my doctors is possible with God". 

Why?? Because my bible tells me so.

For with God nothing shall be impossible.

Going deeper

In the Bible, Jesus calls himself "the light of the world" (John 8:12). 

Although we cannot see Jesus with our eyes, we can better recognize His light by learning His Word and knowing His character. 

Disappointments at work, school or struggles at home can be hard to endure. Even if we don't understand why God is allowing us to struggle with something, Jesus proves through His faithfulness that He is deserving of our hope. 

If we focus on Jesus during our "dark times," we can have hope. 

Hope and Have

Do not spoil what you have by desiring what you have not; but remember that what you now have was once among the things you only hoped for - Epictetus

It's like what we have is never enough. We spend a whole lot of time wishing, hoping, wanting and desiring something else when what we have is way beyond great and is desiring, wanting and hoping for some of that attention.

This is a very dangerous place to be, friends. Many of us have made the wrong decisions, taken the wrong moves, said the wrong things, taken the wrong job, left the right relationship, gone into the wrong one.... and on and on; simply because we can't seem to see and love well what is within, around us, before us and for us.

We need to be careful; one wrong move can take you 10 years behind in EVERYTHING!

Start appreciating what you have. Put all your attention into what's before you. Stop coveting.... It never ends smoothly!

Happy Thursday!
